Kilima Resort

The room size was good. Superb views over the Great Rift Valley from the property grounds. The excellent Kaptagat Forest was easily accessible, just a short walk away along a decent track. The host was very responsive to our questions beforehand. Breakfast (included in the room rate) and dinner (excellent value) were both very good. Coffee was excellent. Vegetarian meals were no problem for the hosts. Wi-fi was also very good. The temperature was also very pleasant - not too hot, or too cold.

The main issue at the time of our stay was the poorly-maintained access track from Iten to Kilima. It was very poor. However, an alternative route to the property (that we were unaware of at the time) is much better, making the journey back to Iten easier for us. The host will detail you this good route, and so this hopefully will not be issue any more.

We occupied the family house, which was more than spacious for our 4-members family. Meals together with the host family were very good and we enjoyed the chat as well. The view from the house and the garden is breathtaking.

The hosts are a power-couple regarding their hospitality and delicious food! Because of the distance to town we had dinners at the property and were thrilled with the delicious, healthy, homemade options! We were able to sample some of their recently harvested avocados and coffee! We were able to purchase cold beers with which to enjoy the sunset casting its shadow into the valley below. The cool nights make for some deep sleeping! The hosts helped us arrange a safari down into the valley! Very nice experience!

I prefer window screens to mosquito nets but that's just my preference. I think the showers need a shelf for shampoo and soap.

Great location and view over the valley!

Very calm and beautifully situated. View over the valley. Great hiking opportunities in the neighborhood.
